The Islamic investment bank remains in profit but it has seen its fortunes shrink as the impact of the financial crisis chips away at its profit margin. However, the $233,374 generated by each of its 704 staff has helped it generate first half profits of $165m.

While this was down over a quarter on the same period last year, it has not deterred the lender and this month it was part of a $1.6bn joint venture agreement to construct a state-of-the-art entertainment and retail complex in Doha.
